So after four years living in the gorgeous hills of Berkeley I felt like I needed a little bit of movement and energy around me to find out what my next transition in life should be. And after a very difficult hunt I finally opted for convenience and took a little transient two bedroom in downtown Berkeley. Of course it lacks the rustic charm of the old house, but I can walk everywhere: two farmers markets, four movie theaters, museums, restaurants, shopping, train station, and to pretty much all of Berkeley's best neighborhoods. I'm even still pretty close to all the nature too, in case I miss it too much. I see it as a little jump forward. The stuff that I found around the bay that looked as if in its natural habitat in the house feels a little strange here, and I had to get rid of tons of stuff too. But it'll start taking shape little by little. I still want to keep the pacific coast cozy and warm feel, even in this more newer/modern space.
Here are some pics...
There's a café downstairs
Courtyards on each floor
Rooftop with bay views
This silly modern garage
Like my new sliding Japanese style doors!
Still have an extra room for an office and crafts
Long hallways
Nice size bathroom
Small but nice kitchen!
Cute!
